The first- ever pageant crown I designed for Miss PH - NORTHWEST USA

Every detail tells a story.
The crown embodies both heritage and purpose.
The three stars represent the three stars in the Philippine flag, symbolizing unity and pride.
🌟 Its shape is inspired by Polaris, the North Star, a beacon of direction and purpose, reminding us to always follow our true calling.
🌾 The bluebunch wheatgrass, the official state grass of Washington, honors our roots in the Pacific Northwest.
🌲 The Western hemlock cones pay tribute to Washington’s state tree, symbolizing strength, resilience, and growth.

This crown is more than just a symbol of beauty. It represents heritage, purpose, and leadership.

A reminder that every queen’s journey begins with knowing where she comes from and where she’s meant to go. 💫

Whenever I accessorize a candidate, I don’t simply provide whatever pieces I have available. I make sure to communicate closely with the stylist or the entire team so I can also give suggestions on what would suit the candidate best. I take time to understand the color, silhouette, and the story behind the gown — why it was chosen for the candidate to wear.
The overall look has to be cohesive. The accessories should never overshadow the person wearing them, but instead highlight the candidate’s features. Styling is all about achieving the right balance.
There are even moments when stylists get surprised because I bring out pieces from my collection that they have never seen before. I always tell them that some things are not meant to be revealed immediately and are only shown at the right moment and for the right person to wear.
For me, accessories are not just ornaments or decorations — they are essential elements that complete the entire styling of a 👑QUEEN.
So ladies and gentlemen ,the newly crowned Miss Cosmo Philippines '26@bellaysmael wearing my earrings..

It is truly an honor to work once again with the one and only @valtaguba .That is why when he called me to be the official accessories partner for the @lighttheaisle featuring his collection, I did not hesitate to say yes.
Who would say no to one of the most admired and respected designers in our country, who is not only exceptionally talented in his craft but also genuinely kind and humble ❤
Thank you @solaireresort and the team behind the first ever @lighttheaisle
